The migration process enables you to import the trading history you have built up in a live MT4 / MT5 account with other broker, allowing you to create a DARWIN and participate in DarwinIA.
You'll be able to:
- Create a DARWIN.
- Participate in the DarwinIA trading challenge.
- Manage investor capital.
Prior to migrating the trading history you have built up with another broker, you need to link your live MT4 / MT5 account from your current broker.
If you have already linked your live MT4 / MT5 account and you want to migrate your trading history, you just need to:
- Click on "Trading" - ''Trading Accounts''.
- Click on ''Linked Accounts''.
- Select the account you have previously linked.
- Follow the next 3 steps:
Step 1 - Fill in your personal details
This is only necessary if you haven't applied for a Darwinex account yet.
Step 2 - Request the migration of your linked account
Schedule the importing of your linked MT4 / MT5 trading account's history into a Darwinex MetaTrader account.
The linked account's currency should be the same as your wallet's base currency. If not, please send us an email to info@darwinex.com.
Darwinex will automatically create a live MT4 /MT5 (accordingly) account where the full trading history will be imported.
It is very important that you do not open any trades on this account until you receive an email notifying the successful completion of the migration process.
The migration will take place over the weekend when markets are closed.
Step 3 - Deposit funds
To start trading from the Darwinex MT4 / MT5 account to which your track record has been imported, you'll need to add funds to your wallet and transfer them to your Darwinex MT4 / MT5 account.

Important factors to bear in mind regarding the migration of your account:
- Different balances. Darwinex will take into account should the balance of your new Darwinex account is different from the one at your original broker.
However, we do recommend that you use a similar level of nominal leverage in your new account in order to avoid a deterioration in the score of some of our Investible Attributes. - Analysis. The history of the connected account will be imported to an account in Darwinex, and the results of the account in the other broker will no longer be analysed. The data import does not affect the other broker's account, but it will stop updating and from the moment the migration is completed, only the results of trades made in the new MetaTrader account in Darwinex will be updated.
- One track-record, one migration available. As a result, you will be able to migrate the history of an account to Darwinex only once. This means that if you decide to delete the account to which you previously migrated your history, it will not be possible to import it again.
